We can exclusively reveal that plans are in the pipeline for an £800,000 sports facility at South Axholme Academy and Epworth Leisure Centre.

The facility is the brainchild of the Isle Education Trust (IET), Epworth Town Colts Football Club and North Lincolnshire Council.

Planning permission has been submitted for approval.

The partnership will see enhanced curriculum and extra curricular facilities for all Isle Education Trust institutions, evening and weekend community use as well as a long term training and playing base for Epworth Town Colts.
